A Closer Look At Goop's Sex Bark Recipe

A Closer Look At Goop's Sex Bark Recipe

Gwyneth Paltrow's buzz-machine and lifestyle site, goop, got everyone talking this week with a recipe for what it calls "Sex Bark." Apparently, the chocolately confection can "enhance youthfulness, reproductive function, and sex drive" while "promoting enjoyable sex and fertility for both men and women."

Although it’s not the love potion from Harry Potter, we'd like to imagine that Sex Bark was directly inspired by it. After all, moonstone is an ingredient in the wizarding potion — and Gwyn's concoction calls for something called "Moon Juice," which doesn't come cheap. In typical goop fashion, this (admittedly delicious-sounding) recipe requires a list of healthy, hard-to-find, and expensive ingredients. Let's take a closer look at that list, and what each piece of it costs:

Assuming you don't already have the above ingredients in your pantry, this Valentine’s Day treat will run you about $138, plus shipping. Alternatively, throw down a $20 for a box of Whitman’s chocolate at the drugstore.

Head over to goop for the official recipe with instructions. We'll be standing by for a follow-up post about what one should do with leftover Sex Dust.
